Monk
The Monk is the second-class advancement of the Acolyte, attaining mastery over unarmed and barehanded combat. Where Priests channel divine power through spells and blessings, Monks transform inner energy — called spirit spheres — into devastating physical techniques. They generate, store, and weaponize spiritual energy through a disciplined combo system that chains simple strikes into powerful finishers.
Monks are aggressive melee fighters with access to movement abilities, utility, and a handful of powerful buffs. Their signature mechanic revolves around summoning and spending spirit spheres. Managing sphere count is central to playing a Monk effectively.
Monks can advance to Champion (their transcendent class).
Skills
Iron Fists
| Job | Monk / Champion |
|---|---|

| Max level | 5 |
A passive that hardens the Monk's hands, permanently increasing bare-fist and knuckle attack power. The bonus also applies to weapons that share the knuckle slot, making it the foundation of every unarmed build.

|---|---|
| Type | Passive |
